Outstanding achievement award - Leslie Roulstone. 

I'm most excited about the outstanding achievement award, as I nominated Leslie Roulstone from my branch due to all the hard work he does keeping all the branch upto date with meetings, letters, news, union elections, conferences, courses, rule changes and sending this to us as soon as it arrives on his doorstep. Leslie has been retired for over 10 years but is still a very important member of our branch and committee. 

This award nomination was to show him how much we all appreciate his hard work. 

Congratulations Leslie and I hope you have a great night at the awards ceremony with your wife.
